Note: feel free to skip over the first scene, which is about character development--not plot or politics--and includes gratuitous depictions of the female form that some might find superfluous and/or objectionable. You're all adults, so I'll let you make the call.
Consider the following—and come to class ready to discuss—as you watch:
- What examples of the exercise of power do we witness in Charlie Wilson’s War?
- What types of war take place in the film?
- What types of security management do we see in the film?
- What biases might the story be subject to, or, what might this story be leaving out?
- What questions does the movie raise for you?
Also address these questions in your critical responses. Share your responses to (some of) these questions in the comments for additional participation credit.
